Nueces CAD Property Search

Start with the county appraisal search when you need to identify the correct parcel, narrow down a property, or review the tax year shown on the record.

• Owner name
• Street number or street name
• Property ID, Owner ID, or Geographic ID
• Tax year

Keep the search simple first. The tool suggests trying only a first or last name, or just the street name, if your first search returns too many matches.

• Search the property record by owner, address, or ID.
• Open the closest match and confirm the property details for the year you need.
• Use that record when you move on to payment, tax rate review, or an appraisal question.

Note: The search page says 2026 appraisal values are preliminary and subject to change before certification, and that legal descriptions and acreage should be verified before legal use.

Property tax payment options

To pay online, start the county payment process after you find the property. You can also pay by phone, by mail, or in person.

Property tax office locations

Use a county counter if you need to pay in person. You can also join the Robstown virtual line for motor vehicle registration and property tax services.

Values, exemptions, and tax rates

The Nueces County Appraisal District handles appraised values, exemptions, owner and address changes, split-outs, legal description corrections, and written protests. The tax office collects the taxes, but NCAD determines the appraised value, taxable owner, and taxing jurisdictions.

If you need rate details, review county tax rates or check Truth in Taxation information for estimated taxes and local taxing unit details.

Timing matters: Statements are mailed by October each year, taxes are due on receipt and should be paid by January 31 of the following year, and written protests are usually due by May 15.

Delinquent taxes and special payment rules

You can pay current taxes even if you also owe delinquent taxes, but the payment should clearly say it applies to the current year. If you need to spread out delinquent taxes, the county tax office requires a written payment contract.

Property owners who qualified before January 1 for the Over 65 or Disabled Homestead exemptions may pay current taxes in four equal installments without penalty and interest if the payments are made before January 31, April 1, June 1, and August 3.

Important: Delinquent taxes can lead to a tax lien foreclosure lawsuit and, after judgment, a tax sale.

Property tax contacts

Use the tax office for payments and the appraisal district for values, exemptions, and record corrections.
